sneak peek


I was going to make jonas the white rabbit, but when it came down to time I had to go with something easier. The hat did start out fitting, but as I added the fabric it just didn't end up fitting perfectly....oh well! I had to wing it all and even though its far from perfect I think it turned out better than expected...seeing that I did it all last night and finished this morning. Cant wait to see the 3 of them together....now I just have to finish abby's queen of hearts costume and we will be set. Doesn't he just look super happy to be all dressed up??

Queen of Hearts and Alice in Wonderland Costume Set GIVEAWAY!!!!

Queen of Hearts and Alice in Wonderland Costume Set GIVEAWAY!!!!


I would absolutely DIE to win this. I have done contests like this before, but SERIOUSLY!! THIS is EXACTLY what the girls were going to be this year and am halfway through sewing emma's "alice", but have really ruined it and with us all being sick I am just about to give up on trying to make costumes this year...until NOW!! I am sure I will still try to sew them, but imagine if I won these super adorable (i literally drool everytime I look at them) costumes. OH I hope I win!!!!

meet the newest addition to our family...

LITTLE CHICKEN!!



yesterday Abby went with her class on a field trip to a pumpkin patch and brought home this pumpkin. Emma fell in love the moment she saw it! Abby, being the nice big sister let her have the pumpkin and emma carried "him" around EVERYWHERE! She also has named this little pumpkin "little chicken" (obviously). We also went yesterday out to dinner and to watch Abby play soccer and of course our newest addition came along. I had to convince her today that little chicken could not go with her to her dance class because all the other little girls wouldn't have a pumpkin and so she after lots and lots of bribing left him home. As soon as we got back she made sure he had plenty of hugs and kisses! She is such a funny girl!!

thats not my name

aaron has finally changed the music on our blog! YEA!! I don't know how to do it so he is always the one in charge of the music...just in case you were wondering about the previous music choices. Well now it plays the girls most favorite song (right now) we love to play this song for them because they sing and dance to it and its the best to watch. Emma only knows the "thats not my name" part and so that is always sung the loudest and I LOVE IT!! I have yet to get it on video, but we will see. Sorry no pictures with this post....and that is because we have ALL been so sick and no one wants to see that (trust me..we are scary)! Since Sunday we have all been pretty much on our death beds and Aaron has been the only one to venture out of our prison to go to work or make the nightly run to CVS or Walmart for sickness essentials. Hopefully one day (very soon) we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. As of right now it just never seems to be getting better. So don't come near us for the time being because I would hate anyone to get whatever this is that we have. I would never wish this on anyone. On a more positive note... we have spent a LOT of time with our little family which is always nice, the girls even though have been just as sick have helped me a lot to take care of Jonas (who has now become the sickest of us all). And we are hoping to be better by Monday so that Abby can go on her field trip, play soccer, emma can go back to dance "twass", and I can hopefully (fingers crossed) get their halloween costumes sewn in time. Until then there are still runny noses to wipe, fevers to come down, lots of disinfecting of germs to be had all while we as a family will be jamming out to this song.... so sit back turn up your volume and enjoy it with us.... its probably the closest we will get to be with our friends for awhile:)

soccer

Abby is playing soccer again and she is LOVING it! I even asked her before the season started if she would rather do dance with Emma and she said she wanted to play soccer. She is still the smallest, but she is not scared to get right in there and get the ball. She already has scored a few goals (some for the other team, but she seems to do whatever is easiest and if she gets the ball and its easier to take it to the other teams goal then so be it). Yesterday she had another game and when I told her she got really excited and said "me and daddy play soccer. Daddy is super awesome with soccer and now im super awesome like daddy!"



Whenever Abby does something good she will show us on the sideline a thumbs up! She loves to play goalie and that is why she is doing it this time. Once though another kid on her team was playing goalie and let the other team score and Abby did a BIG thumbs down for all to see.... we had to teach her about how thats not very nice:)

that would be abby's foot and yes she just scored a goal!!
